Review

Maisy the mouse has become a firm favourite with preschoolers. The eclectic mix of first words and pictures in this large hardback book will be welcomed by existing fans or could provide a comprehensive introduction to the distinctive style of author and illustrator Lucy Cousins to those not yet familiar with her work.

Covering a broad range of familiar topics and environments, from dressing up and cooking to visiting a farm or the beach, there are more than 300 words and 25 flaps to keep youngsters interested. The wide choice of scenarios ensures toddlers will not get bored or become overly familiar with the text too quickly.

Lucy Cousins is the multi-award-winning creator of Maisy. Other titles include the Smarties Book Prize-winner Jazzy in the Jungle, Hooray for Fish! - which now appears in animation in Japan; the bestselling New York Times Top 10 Children's Book Yummy; and the critically acclaimed I'm the Best. Lucy Cousins' books have sold over 26 million copies worldwide and are available in 29 different languages. Lucy lives in Petersfield, Hampshire with her partner and four children.
